Default General Head Unit Rant

Ok! So I bought a 2001 Audi A6 2.7 Biturbo. It's a great car but the Head Unit is messed up. I wanted to replace the HU with another stock HU and use the steering wheel controls and the in-trunk 6-dash cd-changer. Anyway I couldn't find a replacement so I bought a replacement from a guy on Ebay. WHAT A SCAM. Got the head unit in and it was seriously broken with pieces rattling around inside. I'm turning him in for a scammer. Anyway, now I want a replacement head unit and can't figure out where to get a replacement. If I can't get a stock head unit, what kind of HU is a good replacement with in the Audi that isn't a fortune. Does anything out there work in the double din size. Maybe touch screen? Suggestions please!

Well, I got ahold of the seller and we're going to see if the US mail will pay the insurance on the item. Which might get me my money back, but I still don't have a head unit. Anyone have any ideas on a touch screen dvd that would fit in this car?
